Last weekend Brad and I decided to go out for an evening hike, we had been told about this state park (Lapham Peak) about 40 minutes from us and so we wanted to check it out. For those non-hikers they have set up the lookout tower just yards away from the parking lot, but for us we still took a hike on the trails before ascending the tower. Surprisingly the hiking was beautiful, of course green forest, but we saw lots of wild flowers and stopped at a pond to listen to the frogs bellow. We also had a close encounter with a wild turkey. He was on the trail and we tried to get close to take a picture, but as we got close he started trotting up the trail, we continued to follow and the turkey also continues to run up the trail. We probably followed the turkey for five minutes on the trail before he finally turned off, it was pretty funny to watch him waddle down the path. We ended our hike by climbing the tower to watch the sun set (which was absolutely beautiful). We wanted to post some pic to give incentive for others to get out there.
Here is the turkey(he is a little blury)

Wow! Who took those pictures? I love the one of the daisys. Good job!! And seeing a wild turkey...it is awesome!
Gotta love those turkeys!!! For some reason they are everywhere around here too! I just got back from a hike today with the YW and it totally KICKED my trash, boy is it time to get back in shape!
P.S. great pics!
You take AMAZING pictures Kjirstin!! A word of warning though, don't follow geese, they are really mean! One hissed and almost bit Alyssa at the park when she was just giving him crackers, she was rather upset about the whole thing.
